Title: Optiboot, a 512k bootloader for Arduino that supports fast baud rates
Post by: Ro-Bot-X on May 13, 2010, 07:38:47 AM

Optiboot (http://code.google.com/p/optiboot/) is a bootloader that was made for mega168-328 that is a quarter in size of the original Arduino bootloader and supports fast baud rates. As soon as the new Arduino IDE version is released that includes the latest Avrdude, non standard baud rates may be used (it already works on MAC at 230400 baud). They are working to make it compatible with mega1280 that Arduino Mega uses, so it will be soon Axon compatible.

512k? are you sure it's not 512 bytes?

That is just what I need for my new Atmel ATgiga.

You're absolutely right, it's 512 bytes... Sorry about that...
